9 Simple Steps That Land You The Life You Want

We all have goals. Everybody will have some idea of what they want their lives to be like. Whether you want to live in the most simple way possible or you want to live big, you won’t always just end up with the life that you want. You may not realize it, but our actions often define us. We will all express a range of actions, and find ourselves on paths that we don’t always expect to be on. And that’s because our choices and decisions have lead us there. But when you’re unhappy, you often think that this is just where you’re meant to be. But that’s not true. Because you took actions (whether you meant to, or wanted to) that got you there. However, the positive take away from this is that you can then also make choices that turn things around and get you to where you want to be.

Because that’s the thing about creating a life that you love, it’s totally within your power. When it comes to having the dream lifestyle that you’ve always wanted, no matter what that looks like, only you can get yourself there. You have to be the one that decides that you’re ready to change things, and to take steps in the right direction. It can be scary and you may not feel ready to take yourself out of your comfort zone. But really, when will you ever be ready? All you have to do is walk through the right steps and you should find that your thoughts and actions get you the life that you’ve always wanted.

1. Change Your Mindset

The first step in all of this really is to do with your mindset. When it comes to money and the other choices that you’re making in your life, you have to be able to control your mind in order to get results. So think about adapting a positive mindset to help you change your life. Whether you want to go big or strip things back, your mind has to be in the best place to help you to do that. So you need to work on this first before you make any physical changes.

2. Find Confidence

It’s also going to help you if you can be confident in yourself. This means that you’ll want to think about believing in the lifestyle that you want. Feel confident in your decision and the choices that you will make doing forward to make this happen.

3. Find Direction

At the same time, it’s also useful to have a better sense of direction. You’ll find more info on how to help yourself achieve what you want here. But essentially, you need to know that you’re making the right choices and heading in the right direction to make that happen.

4. Align Your Goals

When you know that you can make this happen and you’ve figured out what you need to do to get there, you then need goals. It’s always important to have the right goals in place that will allow you to align your actions going forward with what you’re trying to achieve. From finances to career to lifestyle choices, you need that overarching goal that keeps everything in line.

5. Create A Career Plan

Next, you may find that coming up with a career development plan is going to help you. If you want to earn more and live a 1% lifestyle, you have to be willing to put the work in. So working out what you need to do to get there is your first step. But on the flipside, if you want to live simply, you need to work out what kind of job is going to best fit with those aspirations and put that in place.

6. Surround Yourself With Support

From here, you’ll want to make sure that you have the right people around you to make this happen. When you’re surrounded by negativity or people that don’t believe in your dream, it’s going to be hard for you to make things happen. But when you surround yourself with strong, smart, and great people, you will get there. So think about surrounding yourself with the right people that will also align with the life you want to create for yourself.

7. Spend In Line

A huge part of the financial side of things is making sure that your spending is in line with the lifestyle that you want. Be sure that you’re not overspending or scrimping to hard. We’ll learn more about this in point 9, but you really do have to make sure that your financial habits are going to fit with the lifestyle that you want and not necessarily the lifestyle that you have.

8. Make Changes

Then, you need to make sure that you’re making changes to your lifestyle so that it’s starting to reflect the life that you want. Don’t wait. Don’t wait until you reach this milestone or you get to this point. Because you will never make it happen. Instead, start to change the way that you live now, today, and you will start to see a change in your lifestyle overall.

9. Act As If

And finally, you need to start acting as if you have the lifestyle that you’ve always wanted. This is often the secret to making things work. If you say that you want to live simply, but you’re always spending money and you’re getting into debt, guess what? You’ll always be in debt. But if you start to change your spending habits and minimize your life, you will find that you start to live simply. And the same works for when you want a luxury lifestyle. You can’t scrimp and expect to live plush. So start to act as if you have the lifestyle you want, and before you know it, that life you’ve always dreamt of will finally be yours.
